Nibbo is one of China's earliest pioneers in the craft chocolate movement. In 2019, when the "Bean to Bar" concept remained largely unknown domestically, founder Fan Yu—bringing over a decade of industry experience from Australia—returned to open Nibbo's first Shanghai flagship, building the entire production system from scratch starting with direct-sourced cacao beans.
Beyond flavor, Nibbo views chocolate as a vessel of terroir culture that connects farmers, makers, and consumers—each bar embodies not just taste, but human relationships. By eliminating intermediaries and working directly with cacao farmers and cooperatives, Nibbo ensures fair returns for growers while fostering a sustainable, circular economy.
As of 2025, Nibbo stands as mainland China's most decorated craft chocolate brand at the International Chocolate Awards (ICA), having produced nearly 200 distinct flavor profiles and establishing a homegrown "Cacao Flavor Museum." Since its competition debut in 2022—securing 6 medals including gold in both Single Origin and Flavored categories—Nibbo has maintained an unprecedented four-year winning streak, amassing 60 accolades and the prestigious "Chocolate Gold Maker" award recognizing overall excellence.
Behind its award-winning success, Nibbo is pushing forward a new approach to flavor innovation. By sourcing from premium global origins while integrating local cultural expression, the brand redefines chocolate as both a sensory and cultural experience.
